2.14 removed some functionality rpc which is used extensively
alternative to use libtirpc is not sufficient atm. Therefore we
readded the functionality into 2.14 recipes and they need testing.
Some distros e.g. angstrom-bleeding use 2.14 but its not default in
oe-core yet for same reasons that it needs to be
tested
